debian 13.1, yt-dlp stable@2025.11.12 from yt-dlp/yt-dlp, updated with yt-dlp -U

I also installed deno on the terminal with curl -fsSL https://deno.land/install.sh | sh

however, nothing happens if I execute yt-dlp, like: yt-dlp --all-subs --no-warnings https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1bhuN9nqEb4 returns nothing.

All my terminal shows after executing a command like the one pasted I get:

>

that's it, a > and nothing else.

Am I doing something wrong?

The reason this might work is that some shells, like zsh, interpretes the questionmark in the URL as a function of some sort, making the URL invalid to yt-dlp.
